Just received my latest copy of Sporting Classics and there is a discussion of the new Krieghoff 450/400. Krieghoff has an ad in the magazine showing the rifle. Apparently it will be on display at SCI and available in 2008. All Krieghoff safety bashers may now feel free to sound off! | ||

That news, may just intice me to buy a new Krieghoff double rifle next year! I have no problem with the Krieghoff cocking system Now that I know it re-cocks it's self when opening for re-load. The Blazer doesn't re-cock it's self, and is there fore a safety hazzard, not a safety. I wish all the double rifle makers would chamber their rifles for the 450/400NE 3" Jefery, and if they did, I think the sales would go up!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Antlers, the K double rifle, when you cock the hammers using the lever on top, and then fire both barrels, break open the gun and reload the chambers, the hammers stay cocked ie. they cock again when the gun is broken open, without you having to manually recock them. Presumably on the Blaser this does not happen and you must recock them each time you want to use the gun. Hope this makes sense! Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Antler, The Krieghoff when loaded, you simply slide the SO-CALLED safety rearward and it de-cocks the rifle, so that it can be carried with the rifle loaded, and un-cocked. To cock the rifle the sliding "SAFETY" switch is slid forward, which requires some pressure. NOW! When you fire the rifle, one or both barrels, and break the rifle to re-load, the rifle recocks it's self the same as any hammerless double rifle, so all one does is, point and shoot. To make the rifle safe again, you simply push the Switch slightly forward, and release, and the rifle is de-cocked again. If you cock the rifle, and then don't shoot it, and want to make it safe again, simply slip the switch forward slightly, and release, and it will decock again. This sounds confusing, but is really simple to get used to. The BLAZER, on the other hand, has the be manually re-cocked after breaking to re-load the chambers, every time, and IMO, that is not good on a rifle one might be useing for dangerous game animals. The "SAFETY" on the Blazer is automatic, and cannot be disconected. Besides all that, the blazer is about the ugliest double rifle ever built, IMO, and life is too short to hunt with an UGLY rifle!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Thanks Peter and Mac, I get it now. I was under the impression that the K worked like the Blazer. Antlers Double Rifle Shooters Society Heym 450/400 3" | |||

So did they go small frame or is it a chunky?  ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Neither the article nor the ad which is by LeArmes Inc. discuss the frame size of the rifle. LeArmes can be reached at 775-841-3060 or www.learmes.com if anyone is interested in one. | |||

It appears that the market is going this way. There are quite a few new models entering the market in the chambering. I for one am pleased to see a resurgence of interest, ergo production of rifles and loaded ammunition. This is a good sign of the overall heath of the NE market. JW | |||
